But 3 stray dogs doesn't even scratch the surface of the soi dog problem, which is millions of stray dogs across the whole of the country. You are taking a microscopic view of the problem when in reality is is massive as so many posters have said on this thread.

So you would be willing to accept ALL the hundreds and thousands of dogs at your place. If not then please come up with a reasonable plan where to relocate all these stray dogs so that they will not be a nuisance to anybody. Also please explain exactly who will be responsible for homing them, feeding them, vets bills etc for hundreds of thousands and potentially millions of stray dogs across the whole of Thailand. Who will be responsible for cleating up tons of dog <deleted> daily, and where will they put it so that it doesn't spoil local water sources. Simply saying relocate them somewhere else is a cop out. A NIMBY excuse

I am not a dog hater. I am a hater of lazy irresponsible dog owners who, while they feed the dogs, mostly, they then ignore the dogs and let them run free everywhere. If there is an accident where somebody is injured, or a dog injured or killed, NOBODY admits yo ownership of the dog. At best, the dog dies, at worst it is left to recover on its own.

But if you read the story it will be over an 8 year period and not all on day 1.

Why should somebody else be lumbered with the problem?

And how long will they stay there and at whose expense?

Why stop at Phuket. The menace of soi dogs is everywhere in Thailand. spaying and giving dogs dogs vasectomies only helps in the long term in small areas. and keeps the pet lovers happy. Outside my house in rural Kamphaeng Phet is a T junction. On Wednesday evening about 7:15 pm a Thai came up the leg of the T on his scooter and turned to his left, straight into a pack of soi dogs. One dog was killed and the guy was taken to hospital. The damage was a badly broken scooter or motorbike, a Thai in hospital certainly overnight and maybe longer, a hospital bill he has to pay, repairs to his scooter if it isn't a write off, possibly no job after he recovers, a family with no income, and of course NOBODY knows or admits to whose dog it was. What I do know is that last week a neighbour had 4 dogs and this week, only 3 dogs. IMHO there needs to be dog wardens to catch every dog not securely in a compound or on a lead. Every dog and its owner MUST be registered with a collar and ID and have a licence. If found without then sent to a kennel for 7 days after that the dog to be humanely destroyed. NO exceptions.

TBH I have no idea. The last time I handled a gun, was an SLR 7.62 mm rifle in my last year in the RAF back in 1983. Nasty evil things whose sole purpose is simply to kill. A gun of any type has no other purpose.

According to the BKK Post (I am not permitted to link the article), it was a home made single shot pistol of .38 calibre. One child was reportedly playing/showing off with it, when he dropped it onto a computer keyboard and it went off. Being home made it most probably had no safety catch, the only safety being if the hammer is against the cartridge and the gun is not cocked. It is just as dangerous to the user as it is to the victim. What makes me wonder, is how the hell can a 14 year old boy get the gun in the first place. At that age I don't think that he has the skills to make it and all over Thailand there must be little workshops turning out this murderous stuff cheaply.

How sad. Imagine putting immigrants into tents. Just the sort of answer I would expect from a NIMBY. A cop out answer. Where is the water and sewage going to be laid, where will the migrants eat, who will be feeding them, clearing all the trash on a daily basis? Where will the power come from? What if the local authorities refuse permission. What if the owner refuses permission?

That would mean that a family of 4 would have spent 140,000 baht in PKK and nothing in their own province. I am not disputing your figures but those of the provincial governor, Mr. Sathien Charoenruen. Those I find hard to believe.

I take my BP every morning, twice if I have been cutting the grass and scrub. With at least an hour between the 2 tests. I normally take 5 readings on the trot and use the middle one. I made an Excel program and log them daily. Sys Dia Pulse 126 65 98 124 76 98 127 74 96 121 75 101 123 76 99 122 73 87 120 76 87 122 77 103 113 78 101 120 64 90 117 72 88 124 73 89 127 70 101 115 73 95 126 72 98 121 62 90 123 71 92 123 70 107 121 65 96 116 68 100 These figures are for the first 15 days of this month. I am 78 a bit overweight and borderline diabetic. My meds are Morning Co-Diovan 80/12.5 mg 1/2 tablet Dilatrend 25mg/Caraten 25 mg Caraten is the genetic version 1 tablet Metformin/Glucophage 500 mg 1 tablet Bed time Bestatin 20mg 1 tablet Hydroxim/Atarax 25 mg 1 tablet Orfarin/Morfarin 3mg Blue 1/2 tablet Orfarin/Morfarin 5mg Pink 1 tablet Glucophage 500 mg 1 tablet I have been on most of them since 2006 when I had 2 stents inserted. About 3 weeks ago I screwed up my order and missed about 2 weeks of meds. I had no energy, kept falling asleep and generally felt as rough as old boots. Never again.

Blah, blah, blah, BS.

I don't think that he came to his senses as such, but what he did was illegal and he was caught out. IMHO he was "face" shamed into replacing the football pitch, hopefully at his own expense again.

The very few SAS guys that I have met while serving, never mentioned that they were ex SAS. At he first sign of a bar fight they would pay their bill and quietly leave.

100% correct on the military pensions and also ex Special forces. Ex RAF of 25 years, boy and man. I have another ex RAF mate somewhere around Udon Thani way. He was not special forces either but bought himself out early, so no RAF pension. Neither of us are barflies any more.

You seem to know everything. You tell us all with proof. If you have no proof, then stop trolling. What he did with his time and money is HIS business, NOT mine, NOT yours and NOT anybody elses.

They have been since the thread was opened, and never give an honest or straight answer.

Why are you asking the same stupid question of the posters here. If you really need to know write or email Prince Andrew and ask, nobody else, why he paid the money. If he responds, which I doubt, it will probably be along the lines of "Nothing to do with you. Not your business> At least that is the response that I would give, and it IS nothing to do with you, and definitely NOT your business. You are simply trolling now. Really? Try doing a little research before blundering off. This might help you. https://www.royal.uk/royal-finances-0 The Royal family get the ‘Sovereign Grant’, The Sovereign Grant is designed to be a more permanent arrangement than the old Civil List system, which was reign-specific. Funding for the Sovereign Grant comes from a percentage of the profits of the Crown Estate revenue (initially set at 15%) Or here may help as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finances_of_the_British_royal_family Until 1760, the monarch met all official expenses from hereditary revenues, which included the profits of the Crown Estate (the royal property portfolio). King George III agreed to surrender the hereditary revenues of the Crown in return for payments called the civil list. Under this arrangement, the Crown Estate remained the property of the sovereign,[2] but the hereditary revenues of the crown were placed at the disposal of the House of Commons.[1] The civil list was paid from public funds and was intended to support the exercise of the monarch's duties as head of state of Great Britain. This arrangement persisted from 1760 until 2012. In modern times, the Government's profits from the Crown Estate always significantly exceeded the civil list.

I don't suppose that the poster knew where the Ukraine was until this year either and certainly nothing about the Azov regiment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azov_Regiment The group has drawn controversy over its early and allegedly continuing association with far-right groups and neo-Nazi ideology,[13] its use of controversial symbols linked to Nazism, and early allegations that members of the group participated in torture and war crimes.[14][15][16][17][18] Some experts are critical of the regiment's role within the larger Azov Movement, a political umbrella group made up of veterans and organizations linked to Azov, and its possible far-right political ambitions, despite claims of the regiment's depoliticization.[19][9] Others argue that the regiment has evolved beyond its origins as street militia, tempering its neo-Nazi and far-right underpinnings as it became part of the National Guard.[20][21][11] Since 2014, criticism of the Azov Regiment has been a recurring theme of Russian politics. There is a lot more information in the link.

I just tested it but it doesn't allow me to connect to 3BB at Bangkok.

Thank you and please thank your friend for me also. After going in circles I eventually managed to find it. The first shot is where it is and the second makes it a bit clearer. It supposedly is 1 Gbps though for some reason it does not reach that speed, probably as the Ethernet device in the pc needs a hardware upgrade. As I am on the 3BB network I would tend to assume that that would be the path they use, certainly down to Bangkok. Which path it takes from the to the URLs is anybody's guess.

Proof, ex President Trump, is much better than words coming from a serial liar, otherwise it is just bluster, again from you,

I use the IO at Kamphaeng Phet and for the last several years I have been using my son's birth certificate (in both Thai and English) and that was all that was needed. Hopefully this year and next month it should be OK. If not then I will let the IO (a very helpful lady) sort it out with my wife while I just sit there nodding and smiling. I take all of the original documents (which are laminated) plus colour and B&W copies.

No it isn't. When I lived in the UK in the 1980s my 3 bed semi cost me 72,000. My ex wife sold it in the 2000s for 175,000. According to rightmove the average house price was 325,000 over the last year. Properties in Chaplains Avenue had an overall average price of £325,000 over the last year. Overall, sold prices in Chaplains Avenue over the last year were 17% up on the previous year and 14% up on the 2016 peak of £285,000. It is just silly money. The lady across the road from us was an original buyer and paid a whopping 3,995 for it in 1964. Nowadays it is probably worth closer to 400,000. At least my ex was free to sell it. Prince William can't sell it, mortgage it or rent it out. There really is no value to him. It is just an object.
